I find it interesting that many of the KR researchers have moved to
"machine learning".  There is one approach, which says that
communication (human-human or machine-machine) must follow a "standard"
or "contract".  There is another, which says that communication is an
organic process of learning.  Much interesting machine-machine
communication these days is done through machine learning rather than
taxonomy/ontology/contract.
